Our Purpose

We offer adults 55+ the opportunity to learn about and experience different aspects of live theatre including Acting, Directing, and Technical Theatre. We also help you discover your inner creativity through classes in Improvisation, Stand-Up Comedy and Playwrighting.

Classes are typically two hours long for six weeks and will take place in the Senior's Lounge at the Trico Centre, 11150 Bonaventure Drive SE and/or online, if required.
